Explore North Catasauqua, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for North Catasauqua, Pennsylvania. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Pennsylvania or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to North Catasauqua.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

North Catasauqua maintains a quiet gravity where the steady pulse of Coplay Creek defines the low-lying terrain, drawing a cool, moisture-heavy breath through the valley floor. It lies 1.9 miles north of Fullerton, PA (from Fullerton, PA: bearing 354°T), and is situated 3.6 miles north of Allentown. The landscape here is defined by a grounded, workaday horizon, where the distant, hazy silhouette of the Pocono Mountains serves as a permanent, jagged reminder of the earth’s ancient folding far to the north. Within the residential grid, the Arch Street Playground offers a modest patch of green where the light of late afternoon catches the swing sets, casting long, stark shadows across the grass. Only two miles distant, the waters of Catasauqua Lake remain largely out of sight, yet their presence lends a subtle humidity to the evening air that clings to the brickwork and asphalt.
North Catasauqua emerged from an industrial lineage that once demanded the relentless labor of the furnace and the rail, leaving behind a legacy of sturdy, utilitarian architecture that anchors the neighborhood to its past. While the clamor of heavy manufacturing has receded, the rhythm of the local economy remains tied to the persistence of these foundations, favoring a deliberate, unadorned pace of life over the velocity of larger urban centers. The houses stand in close, disciplined rows, their porches facing streets that once felt the heavy tread of workers moving toward the mills. Today, the cultural character of North Catasauqua persists in the small, repeated gestures of its inhabitants, who move through the day with a quiet recognition of the land’s history, turning the soil in backyards or walking the paths near the creek as the sun fades against the gray, weathered siding of the older homes.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
